Meet Leslie: Your No-Nonsense, Light-Finding, Energy-Healing Guide

Hi! I’m Leslie—

A Reiki Master/Teacher, Intuitive Guide, and Spiritual Mentor with over 15 years of experience in energy healing and spiritual exploration. My mission? To make mystical and spiritual concepts accessible, grounded, and actually helpful in real life.

If you want real healing and real transformation—for real people—then welcome. You’ve found your guide. But I’d like to be clear: if you’re looking for a spiritual practitioner who whispers sweet nothings and sprinkles fairy dust on everything while ignoring the real sh*t—I’m probably not your person.

(Side note: I’m terrible at censoring my F-bombs, so if that offends you… well, you may be barking up the wrong Reiki tree. 😇)

I don’t do toxic positivity (look it up ;-)

I don’t sugarcoat the hard stuff.

I see the light in people—even when they can’t see it in themselves.

And that’s what I help my clients do… see the power of their own light, innate wisdom and worth with honesty, compassion, and a good dose of laughter when needed. My approach is spiritual, yes—but also deeply human.

I don’t have all the answers. I don’t walk on water (yet 😉). But I do know, with every fiber of my being, that I’m here to help others reconnect with the radiant, wise, wild truth of who they are.

So if you’re looking for an energy worker who’s grounded, real, and just woo-woo enough, I’d love to connect. Book a Reiki session, join one of my Yoga Nidra + Reiki Restshops, or check out my Oracle Card readings (they're fun and freakishly on-point).

Come as you are—everyone is welcome.

My "Resume"

Life: I’ve been through the trenches, faced some dark nights of the soul, and done the deep, messy work of healing. I’m still human. Still flawed but most importantly, pretty dern awesome because of it.

Reiki Master/Teacher: Practicing Reiki since 2010, attuned as a Reiki Master/Teacher in 2012. I follow the Usui Shiki Ryoho tradition, with a lineage traced directly to Hawayo Takata Sensei.

Professional Memberships: Proud member of the International Association of Reiki Professionals and the Northwest Reiki Association, upholding my ethical standards and practices.

Certified Life Coach: My approach blends formal training with real-world experience and deep spiritual studies, particularly A Course in Miracles. More than just a certification, I bring intuitive insight and practical wisdom to my work. If you’re curious about what’s influenced my work, head over to my “Tool Kit” page to see the many courses and books that have shaped my journey.

Hobbies: When I’m not guiding clients through Reiki and energy healing, you’ll often find me behind a camera, capturing the beauty of the world around me. Photography is one of my passions—just like energy work, it’s about seeing things in a new light. Many of the images on this site are my own, a little glimpse into the way I see and connect with the world.
